= Description =

(My fix is below).
When using basic authentication on Apache, where the username contains a non-ascii character, e.g. Bjørn :-), MoinMoin bombs out with a UnicodeDecode error.

== Steps to reproduce ==
## Describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug. If we can't reproduce it, we  probably can't fix it.
 1. set up basic authentication (in the appropriate directory or location directive in httpd.conf)
{{{
AuthType Basic
AuthName "mywiki"
AuthUserFile /etc/wikiusers
Require valid-user}}}
 1. create a user with funny chars
{{{
/usr/local/apache2/bin/htpasswd -bcs /etc/wikiusers Bjørn password}}}
 1. change wikiconfig.py to use this and autocreate users
{{{
from MoinMoin import http
...
    auth = [http]
    user_autocreate = True}}}

== Example ==
Sorry, no example.
